Not the first adaptation

In the trivia it states that this is the first "Alice Through the Looking Glass" adaptation. It isn't!

Sure, it is the first Disney adaptation under that name, but not the absolute first.
There was a live action adaptation Alice Through the Looking Glass (1998) with Kate Beckinsale as Alice, and a musical film adaptation Alice Through the Looking Glass (1966) with Judi Rolin as Alice and Jack Palance as the Jabberwock.

This eighties TV version is the one I grew up with. It covered both Wonderland and Looking Glass. Remember renting it on video so much. They split Wonderland and Looking Glass into two separate videos.

Most Alice movies mesh together jumbled incidents from AAiW and TtLG. Both books are collections of loosely connected incidents, so this is easy to do.
